Already facing criticism for the imposition of an entry fee for every commercial vehicle entering Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi International Airport Limited's (DIAL) plan has become a major threat issue for passengers and airport security. Recently, Delhi Police sent a letter to DIAL, detailing the potential threat to passengers' lives and the airport due to the entry fee plan, especially when the Capital is on high alert.
According to Delhi Police, this plan should be terminated as soon as possible as the Capital is facing multiple terror threats after the recent Pathankot episode.
Besides Delhi Police, female staff of various airlines has also raised questions over the plan as they have to walk during odd hours to board the cabs as the drivers are now refusing pick and drop services at the forecourt to avoid paying the entry fee. Police also claims that the main objective of the plan was to curb touting activities but it has had no impact as they are consistently arresting touts from the arrival hall area even after the implementation of the plan.
